GOOD NEWS.
A Manufacturing Enterprise to Be
Started at Wa-Keeney.

In an Indiana town there is factory fol
the manufacture of the copper-cased FL
ter. One of the owners of this factory be
gins the text Of letter to the editor Of
this paper in these words:
ave are thinking of locating our fac
tory in your city, and would Like some in
formation from you.
Then follow long list of questions
which, in letter directed to the enquirer
we have answered fairly.
Toward the end of his letter, he says:
1--WE expect to be there with all our
machinery by March l.
Concerning the merits of this invention
we quote portion of the printed note
beads of the manufacturers:
"The best in the world. Patented
May 25, 1867 Wiser & Co.'S Copper
Cased Filter is the combination of cop
per casing surrounding perforated pipe
so as to form a space for the circulation
of water. The casing has independent
water passages arranged and extending
around it, and is surrounded by raised
wall or butment.'
The following points, taken from the
circular of this manufacturing firm, are
interesting to US, and, we presume, will
be to our readers:
HE LONGER IT Is DOWN THE STRONGER
THE FLOW OF WATER BECOMES, while other
filters become clogged between the out
side casing and the fine inside filter or
screen and the supply of water is cut off.
This is impossible in the Wiser Filter. It
never clogs! The flow of water is always
perfect. A trial will prove what is claim
ed for it, that it is the best in the world.
The nearest to quicksand screen ever
made.
You only have to carry one kind in
stock for 1 a and pinch wells.
The slots in copper jacket can be open
ed with thin knife blade or closed with
hammer, to suit sand or gravel.
Can be made any size, on short notice
and at very low price.
Hundreds of testimonials can be given
If necessary.
100000 GALLONS DAILY!
The water supply of Lincoln, Nebraska.
flows through Wiser & Co.'S celebrated
Copper Cased Filters. Last July the city
council of Lincoln. Nebraska, decided to
put in 80 gang wells, each well two inches
ia diameter. all to connect with one main
horizontal pipe from which the city isl to
be supplied with three million gallons
of water daily.
Mr. Joseph Burns, who is one of the
leading tubular we'll and water supply
men of Nebraska, took the contract and
and gave bonds to supply the city with
that quantity of water daily.
He had tested the Wiser filter and we'll
point manufactured in Plymouth, Indiana.
by Whitlock & Co., and knew what he
could do with 80two inch wells, and with
ont solicitation be at once ordered 50 two
inch we'll points from Whitlock & Co.
Here is the result:
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, Sept. 8, 1887.

In Memory of Minnie E. Shorthil]

dictated to Nj. and Mrs. Stewart ShorthiIl.
Gone before us. dearest Minnie,
To the spirit land.
vainly look we for her coming,
In her place to stand.
To Us only sixteen short years
Her pleasant smile was given,
And then she babe farewell to earth,
And went TO live in heaven.
There in the tender shepherds care,
With robes as white as snow,
Is angel Minnie; how we miss her,
From our hearth and home below.
Father, mother, sister,
Weep not for your darling,
Who has gone from earthly sorrow
To land of light and JOY.
Words are feeble to console us,
When our loved ones pass away,
To the land OF Eden's bowers,
Where is rest and endless day.
Dear is the spot where Minnie lies,
And sweet the strains the angels pour.
" should we in anguish we,ti
Sne il not lost, but gone before.
One OF MINNIE's MANY FRIENDS.
